The groundwater oligochaetes (Annelida, Clitellata) of Slovenia [PDF]
Subterranean Biology, 2011 Historical data on the biodiversity of oligochaetes inhabiting ground waters of Slovenia depicted a fauna of 25 species, 19 of which are stygobiotic. Over about the last 35 years, faunistic surveys carried out in Slovenian ground waters has enabled us to

Investigating the Clitellata (Annelida) of Icelandic springs with alternative barcodes
Fauna Norvegica, 2019 DNA barcoding is an invaluable tool to identify clitellates, regardless of life stage or cryptic morphology. However, as COI (the standard barcode for animals) is relatively long (658 bp), sequencing it requires DNA of high quality.

Gaps and Data Ambiguities in DNA Reference Libraries: A Limiting Factor for Molecular-Based Biodiversity Assessments Using Annelids as a Case Study. [PDF]
Ecol EvolRegional DNA reference libraries are crucial for molecular biodiversity assessments, yet they remain incomplete, limiting their effectiveness. Using annelids from the Arabian Peninsula as a case study, we identified considerable gaps in species coverage and minimal representation in public databases.

Reintroduced White Storks (<i>Ciconia ciconia</i>) Have Similar Diets to Their Wild Conspecifics. [PDF]
Ecol EvolWe explored the dietary composition and compared pellet morphology using pellet analysis (n = 23) between two White Stork (Ciconia ciconia) groups to assess reintroduction effectiveness that consisted of released individuals that were free flying (i.e., “wild group”) and those kept within a confined enclosure (“captive group”). We found that 60% of the

Metacommunity Theory and Metabarcoding Reveal the Environmental, Spatial and Biotic Drivers of Meiofaunal Communities in Sandy Beaches. [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Understanding the processes that shape community assembly is a critical focus of ecology. Marine benthic meiofauna, microscopic invertebrates inhabiting sediment environments, play important roles in ecosystem functioning but have been largely overlooked in metacommunity studies due to the lack of community data. In this study, we quantify the

No Mate, No Problem: Molecular Mechanisms Involved in Parthenogenesis in the Cosmopolitan Earthworm Aporrectodea trapezoides (Annelida, Clitellata). [PDF]
Mol EcolABSTRACT Approximately, 40% of earthworm species can reproduce by parthenogenesis. This is the case for the cosmopolitan species, Aporrectodea trapezoides, although sexual forms have been described sporadically. We analyse the genotypes and microbiomes of 30 individuals from four localities where both forms appear in order to understand the ...
